Do policymakers have enough information to act? What is the role of the bioeconomy in building resilience to these shocks? How can research support policy-makers on these topics? What are the thematic research gaps to support Europe in building a more shock-resilient agri-food system?
15:30 – 15:45 Coffee break
15:45 - 16:15 Group work: Research priorities for action
What are the research gaps to support Europe in building a more shock-resilient agri-food system? How can European Partnerships (including FACCE-JPI) better integrate this into their work? Do we need new R&I partnerships? Should Europe dedicate an R&I partnership to use its potential to build overall European resilience/agri-food systems security?
